Jaime Gaeta Somoel

How they died

Deadly force

Jaime Gaeta Somoel came to the door of an apartment waving a hunting knife at officers who were responding to a domestic violence call, police said. Officers had entered the apartment, but retreated as Gaeta came toward them aggressively in a confined area. An iron pool fence stands the width of a sidewalk away from the door of the apartment. Somoel was shot and killed.
